Shooting Suppressed Handguns Indoors

“I’m going to be shooting out through my living room into my master bedroom out a window into into the woods”:

As they say “Don’t Shoot Where you Eat” … no wait, that’s not it. Either way I’d have to say shooting inside my house for fun (or science in this case hehe) is not something I ever plan on doing. There are lots of people I know who have dogs that shit, pee, and shed all over their house though, so I’m sure a little burnt gunpowder residue and other grime wouldn’t even phase them.

Moral of the video.. suppressors are pretty quiet but not WHISPER quiet, and smoke alarms don’t like indoor shooting.

I love how the smoke alarm keeps going off.
But, This is why I love the .45, honestly. Yeah, it only has a marginally higher amount of energy (10%), but if you want to properly suppress a 9mm, you need to go subsonics. And then it’s pretty much just a .380 at that point. The De Lisle carbine could go down to 85.5Db, that’s pretty damn quiet.

9mm is better for sound though. Strictly speaking if you’re going to suppress you’re already going to be using subsonic ammo in either platform… 9mm is quieter than 45 overall. Just like 22 is quieter than 9mm.

Also if you guys will notice how loud or poppy the brass hitting the floor is and the slide falling. Maybe it’s just my speakers, but my guess is that in person (and with a house with carpeting) this would be a lot quieter.

Or at least I hope so because I sent off a form 4 for an Osprey .45 this week.

Well for some reason if you dunk the suppressor in a bucket of water or fill it with shaving cream or vaseline etc the first round or first few rounds are VERY quiet compared to the rest you fire. I can link you to a video by c2 builder where he talks about it but the video isnt really about that.

“Wet” suppressors are when a coolant is used (water, oil, etc) inside the suppressor to cool down the gasses and reduce volume, which in turn makes it quieter.
“Dry” is obviously when you just fire it as is.

woah woah I didn’t say KAC was bad. I used there products in the Army and bought some when I got out. But he’s probley does own and of there rifles or suppressors and has a poser for wearing there clothes.

He posts on Tampaforums alot in the gun and ammo section. He lives near me here in Florida. He’s always posting pics of all his cool numerous NFA toys. I can’t figure out how an EMT makes that kind of money though to buy that much shit.

I work my ass off for them. Besides….some people drive cars that cost $600/mo. I just set a goal and save up for a suppressor and host. Not that complicated if you budget correctly. No inheritance here. Haters gonna hate. O and I make a pretty fuckin good monthly check from people watching my youtube videos/ad’s. THANKS FOR SUPPORTING MY NFA TOYS!

Some suppressors are “whisper quiet”. For example, an integrally suppressed Ruger MK series pistol is Hollywood quiet, of course that is a low velocity rimfire 22lr that is subsonic out of a pistol length barrel.

A 9mm pistol firing sub-sonic 147 grain ammunition is also incredibly quiet, as is a 45acp round when fired through a quality suppressor (the 45acp is inherently subsonic when fired from a pistol barrel).

dang, great minds look at the same videos. nope, that’s not how the saying goes. I just watched this the other day and loved every minute of it. Glad someone that can legally have a suppressor and doesn’t live in a communist state finally got the balls to do this.

Funny. I have shot several rounds of black powder 12 gauge out my back door without my smoke alarm going off. I shoot cowboy action matches with BP and usually keep a round of BP birdshot in one barrel for discouraging critters trying to get to the chicken house and the other barrel loaed with buckshot to discourage tractor thieves. The buckshot rounds are factory smokeless I don’t reall shoot enough of those to make it worthwhile handloading them, still I potted a coyote out the back door with one of those and it didn’t set the smoke alarm off either. I know the alarm works because right after that I fell asleep while baking biscuits.

The house really smells um, interesting if I fire BP out the back door when the wind blows the wrong way.
